ARNAUD'S REMOULADE

The casual offspring of Arnaud's has to deal with both summer heat and major Bourbon Street construction. To attract locals despite the (literal) obstacles, Remoulade will offer a happy-hour food and drink deal all seven days of the week. The half-off daily dishes include red beans and rice on Monday, oysters on Wednesday and meat or crawfish pies on Friday. Each days there is a featured cocktail or local beer for $3–$4.

For the summer in the city, John Besh and Brian Landry's contemporary seafood restaurant in the CBD on Tuesdays extends its daily happy hour from 3 to 7 p.m. (The regular happy hours are 3-6 p.m.) The happy-hour menu includes $5 tapas, $3 cans of beer and half-priced wine, cocktails and draft beer.

The French Quarter restaurant was founded in 1920. Through Sept. 17, chef Neal Swidler offers a three-course dinner for only $19.20. The menu includes crispy shrimp toast, pork tenderloins in Creole mustard cream sauce and summer sorbets. The restaurant's Empire Bar also has a nightly happy hour menu with $5 appetizers from 4 to 7 p.m.
